LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) He’s had trouble at the top of the grain elevator before.
Last month, it was fresh graffiti more than 80 feet up, numbers and letters spray-painted so tall, broad and bright they could be seen from several blocks away.
But more than 40 years ago, when James Woolsoncroft bought the elevator on the edge of the Haymarket, it was the roof itself. The previous owner had let it fail, and rainwater had seeped into the silos, ruining the corn.
Woolsoncroft knew the property needed work. But he also considered it the Cadillac of grain elevators: A dozen concrete bins on the north side, 80 feet tall and 24 feet across with 7-inch steel-reinforced walls; and six smaller bins to the south.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Each semester students enrolled in MNGT 411 within the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business, take part in Strive to Thrive.
The program allows students to learn about the community and its needs. The students then develop funding priorities in the form of a mission statement. They then select 25 local nonprofits whose work aligns with that mission statement. Through visitations and research, groups share their findings with the class. Two nonprofits are then chosen to receive a $5,000 grant.
On Wednesday, the class held a virtual award ceremony to announce the winners. Visionary Youth and South of Downtown Community Development Organization were the winners.
